Benefits

Opens and Closes With the Push of a Button 

  • The PLC-driven frame is fully automated. 
  • Reduced downtime for maintenance and cleaning. 
  • All plates are accessible without removing components 
  • Opens and closes faster than a traditional plate heat exchanger (PHE) frame. 
  • No loose tie bars to manage during cleaning and maintenance. 

Lower Maintenance Costs 

  • Electrical drive system eliminates the need for hydraulic oil, which means less maintenance. 
  • More reliable than other designs, electrical drive systems have fewer moving parts and are less prone to wear and tear. 
  • Sealed drive system components prolong machine life. 

Repositioned Control Panel 

  • Tactically positioned at the back of the unit safely inside a cabinet, the improved control panel design reduces the risk of washdown damage. 
  • External operator controls are simple, sealed and centrally located at the rear of the machine. 
  • The cabinet protects the control panel from exposure to external factors such as moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations. 
  • Easier for technicians to access and perform maintenance on the components, the rear cabinet provides a centralized location for control panel components and helpful PLC screen, making it easier to troubleshoot issues and replace parts if necessary. 

Improved Hygienic Design 

  • The upgraded top bar is fully welded to minimize contamination risk while enabling effective cleaning and sanitation. 

Greater Safety 

  • ASME Certified. SPX FLOW builds plate heat exchangers that meet or exceed globally recognized safety standards. 
  • Designed to meet or exceed 3A standards by a company with 3A certification and experience dating back to 1956. 
  • Less manual intervention reduces the risk of accidents.  
  • Integrated 360° emergency-stop coverage. 

 Enhanced Tie Bar Seals 

  • Better sealing of moving components lowers maintenance requirements and prolongs machine life. 
  • Simpler to install than traditional tie bar seals. 

 Manual Drive System Availability 

  • Don’t plan on opening the machine often? Consider the manual drive Fast-Frame 
  • Same synchronous tie bar movement. 
  • Geared for manual operator opening and closing. 
  • Manual machines can be upgraded to automatic. 

 Relocate With Ease 

  • By removing the support frame, the entire plate heat exchanger can be moved through standard doorways without disassembly. 

 From the Company That Invented the Plate Heat Exchanger … Whether the goal is lower operating costs or a reduced carbon footprint, our solutions makers continue to engineer PHE solutions that provide tangible and measurable value to our customers.
